My wife is often called up in her firm to write the nasty letters. I am proud of that.

I watched it as a child. And yet I became a lawyer.

Excellent point. And it wouldn't necessarily change the show premise in great detail.

Good point. Regional is an interesting way to do it.

It's really not at all realistic. Fortunately, I rarely let that stop me.

I like the idea, in the abstract. I think it would take many years to implement it and make it work. Part of the problem is that Americans seem to care only about major league sports. I've had only limited experience in Europe, but I've seen locals rabid for their local second division club. In the US, we go to the AA…

True.

Ah, Browns fans. Celebrating the victory of being the favorite in a game.

I admit I haven't been following the Browns closely this year, but I don't see them winning. The Steelers aren't a powerhouse and shoot themselves in the foot weekly, but they aren't a garbage fire with the one quality WR suspended and the ghost of Jim Brown at RB.

Will ESPN/TNT follow this up with some sort of marketing push?

My main Thursday gripe is either the inexplicable lag between CBS and NFL Network or that the place I seem to always end up watching has a dozen tvs on the game, half on each station, creating a weird time warp sensation.

My First Nations grandmother looked like Wise Indian Woman from central casting. I am so white I glow in the dark. So I get what you're saying.

Yet any number of men taking these pills wouldn't need the pills if they lived any sort of the active lifestyles pictured. Ah, commercials.

I got halfway through it before I started cursing out loud.

Her "empire" is now based out of Clarence, NY, which is where all the truly repugnant white people fled after Buffalo tanked. I'm not sure if the new patrons (former supermarket CEO family) are true believers (probably, in Clarence) or just hoping to make a windfall of bilking the poor (probably, in Clarence.)

BIL (kicker/punter) chose to go back for his senior year, despite being on the Packers (near the end of the) draft board, and had a miserable year. Ended up a free agent in the Pats camp against fellow rookie Vinatieri. Didn't go so well for him. Broke his ankle in a household accident a year later and never played…

I've become oddly ambivalent or more accepting as time has passed.

I want to see the part of the rule/contract that requires the Bills to be shown every week to go away. I'm 1.5 hours from Buffalo and there are as many CLE and PIT fans here at Bills. Yet we miss out on so many good games each year because the Erie and Buffalo stations are both required to show the Bills every week.

Senior year (HS) of soccer, I was team co-captain and starting forward on the left side. For two games, until the coach apparently sobered up and realized I was terrible. I still don't know why he did that—I'd played for the man for years and he knew what he was getting. Then it was back to the bench where I'd made my…

I grew up a fan of Les Expos. It's like a case study on current league-wide problems with cameos by surly Francophones.
